The past several weeks of Immigration and Customs Enforcement crackdowns and the rising protests to stop them are proof of just how badly Trump's deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller misfired in assuming America was ready for an all-out purge of immigrants at any cost, former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) told MS NOW on Wednesday.

"The Wall Street Journal has a great TikTok of how those folks, the victims of ICE killings, get victimized," said anchor Nicolle Wallace. "That Stephen Miller, it is known someone in the White House is talking about it because they told the Wall Street Journal that before any of those statements were reviewed or fact-checked, Stephen Miller goes out there and tells the world they were 'domestic terrorists.'"

President Donald Trump's latest "Hail Mary" legal scheme is almost surely doomed to fail, according to one expert.

On Wednesday, Trump's lawyers filed a motion in New York federal court to remove Trump's 34 felony convictions to federal court. Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein expressed skepticism about the move because Trump's lawyers waited so long after his conviction, according to reports. He also noted the timing seemed conspicuous, given that the Supreme Court issued a ruling granting the president broad immunity before they filed the appeal.

Vice President JD Vance praised President Donald Trump as "perceptive" because he complained that CNN's Kaitlan Collins did not smile more.

"I mean, like, there was a moment in the Oval Office. I wasn't even in there, but, you know, I was in the West Wing," Vance recalled to Megyn Kelly on Wednesday. "[Trump] was talking to Kaitlin Collins, who's the CNN anchor... But the president, she's asking a question, the president says, 'Why don't you ever smile?'"

First lady Melania Trump faced questions after she seemed to promote her movie at an official White House event.

Pardoned Jan. 6 rioter Jake Lang was asked to leave a bar in Minnesota after being accused of harassing the staff. Lang, however, claimed that it was due to his support for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and President Donald Trump.

MAGA influencer Steve Bannon called on President Donald Trump to "nationalize" elections by deploying the U.S. Army to voting locations.

During an angry Wednesday rant about Trump's decision to pull Homeland Security agents out of Minneapolis, Bannon argued that the administration should provide "zero" cooperation with cities in blue states.

Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) shouted down Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent after he refused to give forthright answers at a hearing.

CNN's Sara Sidner was astonished by new polling that shows a deepening mistrust for President Donald Trump's commitment to democracy.

The 79-year-old president proposed that Republicans nationalize and take over elections in at least 15 states, just days after the FBI and his spy chief Tulsi Gabbard raided a Georgia election facility seeking evidence of 2020 election fraud that has been repeatedly debunked, and data analyst Harry Enten told "CNN News Central" that voters don't trust his intentions.

MAGA influencer Steve Bannon slammed the Trump administration's plan to withdraw 700 Department of Homeland Security officers from Minneapolis after Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol agents killed at least two U.S. citizens.

Bannon expressed concern on Wednesday after border czar Tom Homan said 700 agents would be removed from Minneapolis.

Border czar Tom Homan revealed that President Donald Trump was withdrawing some ICE and Border Patrol agents from Minneapolis after at least two U.S. citizens died at their hands.

In a speech on Wednesday, the border czar cited "unprecedented collaboration" with local officials.

The Kentucky Republican has compelled the testimony of Bill and Hillary Clinton later this month about their association with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, but the "Morning Joe" host said that opens the door to forcing President Donald Trump to testify about his own lengthy friendship with the late financier.
